The mystery beauty who caught Justin Bieber's eye has admitted she feels like she is 'living a fairytale' after she went from being a £3 an hour babysitter to being a catwalk model. The Canadian pop sensation thrust Irina Shayk lookalike Cindy Kimberly into the world spotlight by posting her picture on Instagram and asking: 'OMG who is this!'
She was revealed to be a 17-year-old shy student from Denia, near Benidorm, Spain, who earned £2.90 an hour babysitting, by MailOnline in December. Now Cindy, 17, has revealed how chart topper Bieber's attention has changed her life. The stunning teenager, who is still at school, told how she has been plucked from obscurity to be a model and will be making her catwalk debut at Madrid Fashion Week next month.
Cindy, who was born in Holland, said: 'When I saw Justin was asking about me I got very emotional because I've been a fan of his for more than six years. 'It seems like a fairytale. A friend of mine often used to joke that one day I'd be one of the girls he talked about and I didn't believe her. 'My life's changed positively since Justin appeared in my life. At the beginning I felt completely overwhelmed and didn't know how to deal with it but now I'm getting used to it.'
The teenager gained hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram after Bieber said he's a fan. She has gone from being an unknown to being followed by 668,000 fans on social media. But she insisted she intends keeping her feet on the ground and concentrating on her studies despite all the attention she is receiving. She said: 'I've had a lot of job offers since all this happened. I'm constantly receiving calls offering me things, but I'm focused on my studies and fashion commitments I'd already made.'
Claiming she was 'delighted' to have been compared with the likes of Shayk or Angelina Jolie, she said: 'I love both of them.' She added: 'My mum's happy for me with everything new that's happening in my life. 'She already knew I was a fan of Justin's. She's always urging me though to stay focused on my responsibilities with my studies and keep my feet on the ground.'
Cindy joked this week she was sad that Bieber isn't following her on Twitter. Cindy, who goes by the nickname 'Wolfiecindy', has opened a new social media account. She closed her old one in December when Bieber shared her picture with the world to escape unwanted attention.
